One hot cup

Coffee is many things. One of them is hot,literally and metaphorically. This original pencil drawing conveys what coffee can be and the draw it can have to those who love it. Smooth and enticing steam that at second glance looks like,like,like. Is that what I think it is steaming out of the cup ?

I am a professional artist & coffee connoisseur. As a 1st generation Italian ( Neapolitan ) coffee is a way of life, or as we say - " il caffe e vita " . Everything revolves around coffee and of course pasta. I remember my nonna ( grandmother ) magically making the percolated coffee for me and la famiglia. I started drinking coffee ( all types ) when I started breathing.

The other thing in my life that gives me almost as much joy as coffee is art, imparticular drawing in the humble medium of pencil.All of my art revolves around that special bean ( technically a fruit/seed ).

I hope you'll enjoy the 2 things that are the "sound track" to my life. I take great pride in both.
